Pass the Word

The pass the phone party game

The only thing you cannot do is say the word.

A word appears on screen. Describe it, act it out, give clues, do whatever it takes to get your team to shout it out. The catch: you cannot say the word, any part of it, what it rhymes with, or the letter it starts with. Guess it, then tap to pass the phone to the other team and keep the chain going.

But there is a hidden buzzer ticking down. When it goes off, whoever is holding the phone loses the round. The clock speeds up the longer it runs, so the pressure builds and nobody knows exactly when it will blow. First team to five points wins.
